Clicking with poly U control arm bushings
I have a clicking sound coming from the front suspension that is really irritating the heck out of me. The noise happens when I go over bumps at slow speeds(LESS THAN 20MPH)
It's not when I turn or a clicking from a CV, I know that noise and this is different. The sounds is similar to hitting two pennys together.
At first when this started, I just tightened the control arm bolts, and the noise would go away for a few weeks. Now that doesnt really do anything. I have the SRD PolyU CAB. Does anyone else with these have the same problem and have a cure.
Thanks

Welcome to my hell. Luke was supposed to send me some special lube to fix the issue twice now and I never got any. He is a good guy, but I guess he keeps forgetting. Mine is not really a click, but much more of a horrible squeeking.
I have use white lithium grease to try and stop it, but it only worked for a few days. PS, the prob with taking them off or looening them is that you need an alignment every time. SOOoo, I have been living with it since my front only alignments cost 120 bucks. (camber plates and all that hassel)
After the first two (one before grease and one after) I gave up on the expense.
